Locked On Zags - Daily Podcast On Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball Locked On Podcast Network

The West Coast Conference accepted Grand Canyon University as a full time member starting in 2025, and 'Lopes coach Bryce Drew joins the program to discuss his reaction to the news, excitement about getting to play Gonzaga and Saint Mary's, and what this rabid fanbase brings to the conference.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs landed their third addition of the college basketball offseason out of the transfer portal in Tarleton State guard Emmanuel Innocenti. Innocenti is a 6'5 wing from Italy who has three years of eligibility remaining after he was named to the All-WAC Freshman team and Defensive Team. The Zags already have a nine man rotation, so Innocenti is unlikely to play much in his first season in Spokane, but he should develop into a quality piece for Gonzaga in his final two years of eligibility.

The West Coast Conference accepted Seattle University as a full time member starting in 2025, and Redhawks coach Chris Victor joins the program to discuss his reaction to the news, excitement about getting to play Gonzaga and Saint Mary's, and how the program will utilize Climate Pledge Arena in the future.

The WCC's additions of Grand Canyon and SeattleU aren't specifically tied to the Gonzaga Bulldogs leaving the conference, but rumors remain about Mark Few and the Zags pursuing a new league - particularly the Big 12. However, talks between Gonzaga and the Big 12 conference have reportedly stalled, what does it mean for the future of GU's athletics?

The West Coast Conference officially accepted Grand Canyon and Seattle University as full-time members starting in the 2025-26 season, and we discuss what it means for Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The new additions brings the WCC up to 11 full time members, and for one year the conference will have 13 while Oregon State and Washington State are still members.

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs agreed to a two-year non-conference scheduling agreement with Mick Cronin and the UCLA Bruins. The first game will be played in 2024 at the Intuit Dome, the new home of the Los Angeles Clippers, while the return game will be played at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle in 2025. Gonzaga has one four straight against the Bruins, and UCLA will hope to get back in the win column with former Zags guard Dominick Harris and GU target Trent Perry on Cronin's roster.
